In the simplest terms, FinOps is the joining together of finance and operations. Just like DevOps is the joining of development and operations. Both are partly tool-based and partly cultural. And both aim to fix problems that face technology or cloud-driven businesses. The goal of FinOps is to align cloud cost optimisation with the broader goals of the business by introducing transparency, accountability and clear reporting.

In a traditional CI/CD pipeline, the instructions for how your pipeline should run are stored in the same repository as your application code, creating a rigid 1:1 relationship between your pipeline and project code. This approach has benefits, like keeping pipeline logic close to the code it supports, but it also introduces challenges, especially for organizations managing multiple repositories or microservices.

When I look back at my career in technology, I’m amazed at the rate of change, but also by just how much has remained the same. My first introductions to database technology were FoxPro, SQL Server 2000 and Oracle, and the applications that ran on top of them.

I attended ElasticON recently where we spent the day with our NYC Elastic community, talking about the combined value of vector databases using retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to feed large language models (LLMs) for next-level generative AI (GenAI) results. Elastic’s CTO and Founder Shay Banon kicked off his keynote with an important message: GenAI is not magic.

FinOps IT Asset Management(ITAM) is one of the modern trends in the IT field, which is gaining increasing popularity among organizations in order to manage their financial processes and technological tools. When the FinOps term appeared simultaneously with the ITAM term, it became clear that their integration would offer the following advantages: better control of costs, optimized resource management, and legal compliance.

Have you ever needed to serve multiple customers with a single instance of your application but ran into challenges like isolating each customer's data and configuration? If you have, then you've encountered a multi-tenant architecture. In this blog post, we'll introduce the core concepts behind multi-tenancy and explore how it works. We'll then dive into how Kubernetes, the popular container orchestration platform, provides primitives that enable building multi-tenant architectures.

I’ve spent over 25 years in tech product marketing and customer support, working with pioneering companies like Dell/EMC, Apple, Keeper Security, and now, SolarWinds. In my current role, I’ve had the privilege of helping organizations of all sizes achieve comprehensive observability in their IT environments. I’ve also witnessed firsthand the challenges that can arise on this journey.

When working with OpenTelemetry, environment variables play a crucial role in configuring and customizing your setup. These variables provide a flexible and convenient way to adjust settings without needing to change code, allowing you to fine-tune your OpenTelemetry installation across different environments.
